The Nanocom is specifically designed for your vehicle and thus reads more accurately where the Scangauge is a generic reader and won't pick up on everything.
You may want to check the Scangauge is giving accurate readings. The Nanocom has live gauges too |

Yes, I can understand that but what worries me is the EGR fault, I think I would know if the EGR was stuck open and, I assume, this would cause the engine warning light to come on?
I’m afraid I’m a bit new to these devices, unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be an idiots guide to the Nanocom and what all the various read outs are and how to interpret what they mean. Maybe in my case a little knowledge is a dangerous thing? Chris 2010 Defender 110 Station Wagon, Santorini Black. |

you can use a OBD splitter which gives you 2 OBD sockets/ connection points My 90 Project : http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic52774.html

Have you cleared the codes and checked if they return.... they could be REALLY old if it hasn't been read / cleared in a while!
The nice thing with the LR SDD is that it gives you the mileage on the fault codes but I have never seen them on the Nanocom kit I assume I am missing something. Last edited by TJH1985 on 25th Jan 2018 5:01pm. Edited 1 time in total |

“Have you cleared the codes and checked if they return.... they could be REALLY old if it hasn't been read / cleared in a while!”
You may well be right. It’s never been cleared since I’ve had her and only read with my Scangauge, so about 5 years. When the rain stops I’ll have another go and try and clear it. Re the ODB splitter, can you run 2 devices at once? probably not, but it got me thinking, perhaps a short ODB extension cable would enable me to remove the socket again, connect the extension and have it as a sort of flying socket which I can easily tuck down the side of the fuse panel? Time to get on eBay again! Thanks for your input guys. Chris 2010 Defender 110 Station Wagon, Santorini Black. |

As above. Clear the fault, drive around see if it returns. If it does, potential issue, if not issue resolved.
There isnt a guide as such but there is a useful forum on the Nanocom website. |

I too took advantage of the group buy. Cheers Diesel Driver
I too plugged mine in and checked for faults but the only fault was an air conditioner fault which the car doesn't have!! 
Was hoping for a load of faults to justify buying it but not a bloody thing. Hope the Defender goes wrong soon so I can justify the purchase to the missus. 
Seems a bloody good unit though having had a play. |

Haven’t got round to clearing the faults with the Nanocom yet (weather dreadful) but I did plug the Scangauge back in when I left the vehicle yesterday. I noticed this morning that when I unlocked the car using the fob the Scangauge briefly illuminated and showed the gauges, went off after a couple of seconds, very strange as it’s never done this before, normally comes to life a few seconds after the “ignition” is turned on and the car started.
The vehicle then started and ran as normal with the Scangauge working as normal. Anyone else with a Scangauge noticed this behaviour? Chris 2010 Defender 110 Station Wagon, Santorini Black. |
